Hm, maybe I’ll have to see if I can get a 3D scan of the button pulled out. I might be able to get a friend to cnc it on his machine.

Honestly a 7200 rpm redline at stock ish power would be everything I want in this car lol. Power seems perfect for the handling prowess. Maybe a touch more to say 500 wheel horsepower… I’ll be keeping a close eye to see if that becomes a reality. Anyone know if the engine is well enough...

Anyone know of a company that makes an alternative material stop start button? Aluminum or magnesium would be my preference. Would really improve the tactile feel on the car. With the upgraded interior most of the touch points are quite nice. A different button I think would really elevate one...

I use my set for track and autocross. Haven’t had any issues yet. I follow good safety practices and do a full inspection of each wheel for cracks prior to popping them on. So far it all looks good!

With increased airflow I'd imagine it'd be even more pronounced is my guess.

Carbon Fiber drive shaft in with the differential lock out bushing: I was going in expecting a bit of a change. Maybe nothing noticeable until winding the car fully out. I was not right about that. Coming off the clutch is noticeably smoother without having to pay as much attention. Seems the...

I think that depends a bit on your personal risk aversion. If you give no... ducks... about warranty, a tune will probably get you more bang for the buck. If you're aiming to tune the car with a bit more edge and power within the bounds of being unlikely to lose your warranty it's 100% worth it...

Thanks! I was wondering if it might just be an accidental auto selection since there wasn’t an explanation. You guys consistently provide good info on why a mod is an improvement.

Quick question for @WONT TAP On ordering the CF drive shaft, I see it comes pre-selected with ATS-V shifter bushings. Is that a known upgrade for us Blackwing people? It was common practice in the Porsche crowd to move to GT3 shifter bushings as they were billet aluminum instead of plastic and...

I'm always gentle during warmup which means it never sees more than 6 lbs of boost until the oil is close to temp. Probably overkill but who knows.

Haven't had something like that on my Blacking but in the past that usually indicated too much resistance/voltage going to the fan to spin. Our cars may be more advanced and have a separate sensor but either way sounds like replacement of the sensor/fan assembly under warranty is your best bet.

Looking at the difference between the two throttle bodies I am completely unsurprised by the gains. In all the Porsches I've owned in the past the throttle bodies were clearly polished. The stock one in our Blackwings (mine at least) the entrance was still clearly just cast. No cleanup...

Haha, fair enough! Sounds like Texas has a great Cadillac scene. New Mexico not so much. I may have mine in about the same time you get yours in that case!

@JB5359 What do you think of the CF drive shaft? With how well it seems to be balanced and setup I'd expect even less NVH coming through. Any other things you've noticed, good or bad? I'm about to pull the trigger and thought you might be able to provide us some insight. Lesser designed one...

How goes the testing? Hoping to have one fitted before the autocross season gets under way lol

M6 for me!

Quality water heater installed instead of the garbage whirlpool the house came with. Yay! Anyway, got some time with the new throttle body in and everything plugged in right. While it isn’t perfectly scientific, I got to do some 60-90 pulls with my gps running. It is t the fastest gps but still...

Replacing my hot water heater this morning but I’ll have her out this afternoon to see what it’s like. I can already say the throttle tip in is a good bit sharper until the boost fell off. Feels a bit more similar to cars I’ve owned with ITB’s than previously. More direct throttle action? Which...

Close! It was the line on the passenger corner of the vacuum assembly that wasn’t seated right. It was making me crazy! You got me on the right track. Thank you! The one hidden behind the one mentioned. Hallelujah!

I get some rattle as well. Do my best to ignore it lol
